Temasek-backed investor behind Unitree pitches Singapore as Chinese robots' path to U.S.

Wednesday, August 26, 2026


A venture capital investor backed by Temasek, Singapore's state investment company, is positioning Singapore as a location where Chinese robotics companies can develop products for the U.S. market amid American restrictions on Chinese technology imports. The investor is backing Unitree, a robotics startup, as a test case for this strategy. The approach relies on the argument that products developed and manufactured in Singapore rather than China could qualify for market access in the United States.
